……………..It’s always a joy when Kathy and Karen come and spend a weekend with me!……We had a great time!….I made a Lemon Cheesecake, which they said was the best cheesecake they ever had….I really have become a whiz at making cheesecakes. We spent the afternoon in my gathering room having a variety of things to nibble on, sitting by the fire…….I made an early dinner reservation at “Casa Me’ in Westport…which was all delicious…..then back to my house to watch a movie and Cheesecake….We watched “CONCLAVE” on pay per view….To my surprise there isn’t one movie theater anywhere near where I live that was playing the movie?!…so we got into our jammies and watched the movie on my big screen TV……This morning we went to the ELM STREET dinner for breakfast…..then back to my house. Before they left we all went to the third floor and went through what samples I have left, and they managed to fill three large garbage bags with clothes!…..Then they packed up. I gave Cathy the remaining piece of cheesecake to bring home to her husband Jim, who I know will enjoy it while watching the foot ball game this afternoon….I have one more group of guests coming next weekend, and I will make a raspberry cheesecake plus Pizzelles and Ginger cookies…..They have a two year old son, Cameron. I am going to gift him Jac’s collection of HESS TRUCKS…..I know he will enjoy them…..and I know Jac would be happy with my decision to give them to a little boy who’s face will light up when he opens the packages…..Then, for me the Christmas season will be officially over…..and I will start to put away all of the decorations……it will be a huge job!…..It would be so much easier for me just to leave them up until next Christmas!!!!!
